Chapter 222 Conan: 'You must believe in science!' (The main line lies in the author's words!)
The tea party suddenly came to a halt, and everyone remained silent. Master Nishino scratched his head in embarrassment and asked, "Did I say something I shouldn't have said?"
"It's not that..." Suzuki Sonoko shook her head, "It's just that... who is the Rasputin you are talking about?"
In fact, not only Suzuki Sonoko, but also Mao Lilan and Qin Zhibo, who didn't know much about Russian history, didn't know who this person was.
"He is the representative of the evil tsarist regime, and the state counselor and demon monk during the reign of Nicholas II, the last tsar of the Romanov dynasty - Rasputin."
At this point, Suzuki Sonoko, who is not a good student of history, thought, "Is Nicholas II the family in the 'Egg of Memory'?"
Master Nishino nodded and said, "Well, that's the family in the 'Egg of Memories'."
"Rasputin had a very good 'personal relationship' with Nicholas II's family. It is said that he not only had an affair with the empress, but also had affairs with all four of Nicholas II's daughters."
Nishino Masato exploded a big pot, which immediately aroused the interest of gossip queen Suzuki Sonoko, "Is this true?"
"Well, the experience of this Russian monster monk is very legendary. Many of his experiences cannot be explained clearly even now."
"It is said that he has God-like 'miraculous power'~"
These unofficial secrets immediately aroused the interest of Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan, and asked Nishino Masato to explain them in detail.
Finally finding a topic on which he could take the initiative, Nishino Masato rolled up his sleeves and was about to give a lecture when Pu Si Qinglan on the sofa opposite suddenly stood up.
"Sorry, I'm feeling a little unwell, so I'm leaving first."
After the words fell, Pu Si Qinglan left the tea party regardless of her reservations.
The remaining people listened quietly to the legend of the Russian monster monk Rasputin described by Masato Nishino.
"Rasputin was born in 1869. When he was young, Rasputin was a young rogue in the village and worked as a horse thief. Therefore, he was nicknamed 'Rasputin' by his fellow villagers for his 'musical and dissolute' music.
"
"This kind of life lasted until he was in his thirties. According to him, he was enlightened by a holy man and gained the power of a 'prophet' and a 'man of God'."
"From then on, Rasputin put on the holy garment in the name of religion, regarded himself as a priest, spread prophecies and miraculous medical skills everywhere, and was credited with successfully predicting a severe drought and curing Nicholas II's uncle.
- became famous as the dog of Archduke Nicholas."
"Later, Rasputin used the divination and incantation skills he learned from the 'holy man' to easily win over a group of nobles, and became a popular figure in the upper class, and his reputation gradually spread to the palace."
“The Russian royal family at that time, especially the empress of Nicholas II, believed in mysticism. Their only son Alexei was suffering from hemophilia. All the famous doctors in the country could not cure it, so Rasputin was summoned.
Enter the palace for treatment."
"A miracle happened. Rasputin just fed the crown prince a small packet of medicinal powder, prayed and told stories on the prince's pillow, and the crown prince Alexey recovered from health."
At this time, Suzuki Sonoko, who was still confused, asked: "May I ask what kind of disease is 'hemophilia'? Is it difficult to treat?"
Before Master Nishino could answer, Conan started the popular science mode.
"Hemophilia is a hereditary bleeding disease. People with hemophilia have severe coagulation disorders. There are few coagulation factors in the body, and blood flow will not stop in the damaged part of the blood vessel. This disease is difficult to achieve according to modern medical standards.
There is still no cure."
"It is said that Crown Prince Alexei's hemophilia was inherited from the Queen, right?"
Master Nishino nodded in surprise, "That's right...but how can a kid like you understand so much?"
Before Conan could answer, Suzuki Sonoko on the side rushed to answer: "This kid just knows some weird knowledge."
"Did you see it on TV again, Conan?"
Conan nodded blankly, "Yes..."
After finishing the popular science, Masato Nishino continued: "Since then, Rasputin has become a frequent visitor to the palace, and it is said that he even had an affair with the queen."
"This incident reached the ears of Nicholas II, who immediately ordered Rasputin to be expelled from the palace."
"But the strange thing is that as soon as Rasputin left the palace, Crown Prince Alexei's condition immediately worsened, and he had to invite Rasputin back to the palace to turn the situation around."
"This kind of 'divine power' made Nicholas II, who loved his son, completely surrender and give Rasputin three points in everything."
"In addition to curing hemophilia, Rasputin's prophetic abilities also shocked the royal family."
"He once predicted that the crystal chandelier in the children's room would fall from the ceiling, but within a few days the huge chandelier actually fell."
"There was also a time when the Crown Prince Alexei and Nicholas II went out hunting. He suddenly developed a high fever and his nosebleeds continued. Rasputin, who was thousands of miles away, predicted that the Crown Prince would turn the corner the next day.
This prophecy also came true.”
"In 1916, the war broke out and Nicholas II personally went to war. Domestic power fell into the hands of the empress, but it was actually controlled by Rasputin."
"He used his power to remove officials at will and had relationships with a large number of aristocratic women. It was also during this period that rumors spread that he had an affair with Nicholas II's four daughters."
"Rasputin's behavior gradually aroused dissatisfaction among the nobles, so the prince, grand duke, and deputies secretly plotted to kill Rasputin."
"They first fed Rasputin 8 pieces of highly toxic cakes mixed with potassium cyanide, and a bottle of Madeira wine mixed with potassium cyanide, but Rasputin had no reaction and was nothing to do with anyone.
Same."
"So the prince, who couldn't bear it, fired a shot at Rasputin, hitting his lungs and knocking Rasputin to the ground."
"Just when everyone thought the 'Monk' was dead, Rasputin suddenly came to life again, grabbed the prince's throat, threatened to hang everyone, and then broke away from everyone's uniforms and ran away to the courtyard."
"In the courtyard, Rasputin was shot three more times, one of which hit the head."
"But do you think this is the end?" Master Nishino gave up and said, "Everyone thought that Rasputin never bathed because bathing would weaken his magic power, so they decided to throw Rasputin's body away.
Into the glacier."
"The body was found the next day, but the forensic autopsy concluded that Rasputin drowned because his lungs were filled with choked water. Rasputin survived underwater for at least 8 minutes before he died completely.
of."
The story of the Russian demon monk Rasputin was finally finished, and Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko, who were fascinated by the story, also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Does this Rasputin really have 'supernatural power'?" Suzuki Sonoko asked.
Before Master Nishino could answer, Conan rushed to speak again, "Of course divine power cannot exist. Only science is the only truth in this world."
"The so-called power of prophecy is actually to cut the chain on the chandelier in advance to make the so-called 'prediction'."
"The reason why people can't die after eating potassium cyanide is probably because the potassium cyanide production technology was underdeveloped at that time, which resulted in the potassium cyanide poison produced being too inferior, so it couldn't kill people."
"Let him try the current potassium cyanide before trying again?"
"As for the pistol not being able to kill him, it probably didn't hit him at all, or the bullet was too weak at the time to cause fatal injuries."
"There is also hemophilia. Isn't it true that he has not been completely cured of this disease? Maybe he just seduced the young crown prince and made some agreement with the crown prince to pretend to be ill..."
"In short, divine power absolutely does not exist, and the truth behind these 'miracles' must be very ordinary."
"You must believe in science!"
Conan made a series of speeches, trying his best to deny that Rasputin had supernatural powers.
Qin Zhibo, who was next to him, listened to the whole process without agreeing or refuting.
Because in Koizumi Hongzi's magic class, Qin Zhibo heard Koizumi Hongzi explain: A magician will lose his magic power when he sheds tears.
In addition, some wizards have taboo conditions that weaken their existing magic power.
